Biofouling
Biofouling is non-desirable accumulation and growth of living matter (micro-organisms) on material surface;World wide problem with
Pulp and paper manufacturingFood industryCooling towerShip hulls, fishing farmsHeat exchangersWater desalination systems
Air Apparent 12 months

Surface Energy, the Work of Adhesion
Work can be expressed in terms of surface energies and interfacial energies
Contact angle θ
γsa =γls + γla cosθ
Young-Dupre equation
Fajun Zhang 809.12.2011
Surface Energy, the Work of Adhesion
For an organism (O) in aqueous medium (w) in the presence of a surface (S)
Wsow = -γso + γsw + γow
For dispersion forces
The work of adhesion can be expressed using contact angle as
Wsow = 1/2γw(1-cosθo)(1-cos θs)
Fajun Zhang 909.12.2011
Strategy I: low Energy hydrophilic surface
Wsow = 1/2γw(1-cosθo)(1-cos θs)According to the equation, as θs approaches zero (hydrophilic surface) the work of adhesion does too;

Strategy II: low Modulus x Energy
Only consider the interfacial energy, we have:Wsow = 1/2γw(1-cosθo)(1-cos θs)An organism cannot distinguish a hydrophilic surface from a watery environment and attaches preferentially to a hydrophobic surfaceNow we consider also the mechanical property of the coating materials:

Wsow = 1/2γw(1-cosθo)(1-cos θs)
Peeling force: P~(Eγ)1/2

Strategy III: Non-sticking structured interfacesurface roughness, 3D patterning, energy and modulus
Surface roughness leads to superhydrophobicLow hysterisis of contact angleLow friction, reduction of drag in fluid flow

SummaryBiofouling is a complex procedure involving chemical, physical and biological processes. Current strategy focus on surface engineering:
Low interfacial energy: strong hydrophilic (water like)Low modulus and energy (elastomers): weak peeling force3D structure: disturbing the settlement of marine organisms
